working on this for us. >> reporter: they sent out a message to students at 9:37 this morning, telling owl students and employees to stay inside and lock their doors. there are summer classes, summer sessions that are going on right now on the university campus. of course not the full student body and staffing that would be there during the regular school year, so fewer people there, but all of this as you said is the result of what three kids say they saw. these are children who were on the khapl bu campus for some kind of a summer camp program. they said they saw a man walking fast toward the volleyball courts carrying what might have been a handgun covered in some kind of cloth. now police have swarmed the campus, they are looking all over, they have not found any kind of a gunman or a man ph-fpg tha man matching the description. 6 feet tall, light brown hair, a blue and white striped shirt,

gray shorts and brown sandals. described as being clean-shaven according to the website for virginia tech. police are on the scene, the f.b.i. is also involved in this. the search continues, jon, for a gunman, a possible gunman, although again there is no one who has seen this person other than these three young kids who were there for the summer camp program. of course we are monitoring this. i'll bring you the latest as soon as we hear any more. jon: a very different situation being that it is summer school time there. they are setting up the microphones for a news conference on the virginia tech campus. it is expected to start momentarily. when it does so we'll take you back there live. we're going to be all over this story and continue to get some information on it. steve centanni also watching it for us from washington, steve. >> reporter: of course you know virginia tech was the scene of one of the worst shooting in

american history, so they are proceeding with an abundance of caution here. only these three teenagers, or children saw a man holding what looked like a gun and they have locked down the campus. they don't want to take any chances. as you know in april of 07 there was this shooting when a senior english stunt opened fire in two separate incidents, one at a dorm and killed two people. two hours later he opened fire against in a classroom building and killed 31 other people. in the interim there was an email alert that went out to the students warning them of this situation but there has been criticism that that alert, that warning system, the warning dew point go out quickly enough. the university came under extreme criticism for lack of warning of the students. do we need to listen to this? >> for the record i'm larry hinker i'm the associate vice

president. and i have with me the chief of police. wendell took a phone call as we walked down here. i would say to you please stand by while we figure out what is going on. jenna: we are watching the virginia tech come pus. w campus. steve, you were talking a little bit about the events of a few years ago, also the timeline here, the warning systems that are in place. we got the first warning around, 9:37 eastern time as far as an alert to the press. it looks like the first warning or report of this reported gunman on campus because around 9:00am eastern time. why don't you walk us through the timeline of the morning up until this point. >> reporter: yeah, this morning it was at 9:37 when we got the word. there was an alert on the website at the university that there were students at a day

camp, some children attending a day camp on the campus of this university in blacksburg, virginia. they said they saw a man who was holding something like a gun, it was covered up they continue be sure. they described him as 6 feet tall, light brown hair -- judge i'm sorry to interrupt you again. it looks like weave both parties present, let's listen. >> at approximately 9:ot this mornin9:09 this morning we received a call. three juveniles reported they saw a man with a handgun. we responded, we did not find anyone in the area. the juveniles were interviewed, officers determined that their information was credible, and so at that point we decided to issue the alert that most of you have received.

since that time officers have been searching the campus. we have assistance from local law enforcement helping us do that. we have not had any further reported sightings. we have not had any reports of anyone suspicious, at least with this person's description or any more information regarding this person. the alert is still in effect, and officers are still continuing to contro patrol and look around the campus and search the campus. >> i think the context that i'd like to provide is that we are in a new era. obviously this campus experienced something pretty terrible four years ago. and the choice facing us, and particularly the police departments are when you get a report what wil are you going to do with the report regardless of what the veracity might be or the ultimate conclusion would

be? in our particular case, and i think what most campuses would do, regardless of your intuition and experience as a public safety officer, you are really forced to issue an alert. and that's where we believe we are right now. as the chief said we've had no further sightings. they continue to have police from many jurisdictions, let me recount, w we have many police departments skouing the police department. that is really our situation at this point. wendell is there anything else you'd like to add? we will take questions. >> the only thing i'd add isf the public does see anyone suspicious or have any concerns they should call 911 immediately. >> chief, was it a man, the person with a gun? jon: that is the head of the

university police force at virginia tech, the university that a little more than four years, april 17th of 2007 was beset by that gunman, choe, who killed 32 people and killed himself. reports from a number of juveniles, not exactly sure how old, three youngsters on campus for some kind of a summer camp reported seeing a man with what they said looked like a gun. they said it was covered with, or wrapped with something, and police interviewed those three children today, they found the threat credibl as a result they issued an a all right that went out to everybody on the virginia tech campus asking everybody to stay inside. it is a huge campus, three times e size of new york's central park, 2600 acres, 125 buildings, even has its own airport. searching it is a massive proposition.

so far they have searched, they have found nothing and they have found really nobody who answers the description of the man to those three children say they saw with something that looked like a gun. you heard about the abundance of caution that they have to treat reports like this with, especially there on that campus, when the calm page of 2007 is still so fresh. we will continue to keep an eye on this story, watch it as elements develop. but there is other news to get to today. jenna: we're going to move onto other news now. straight down to wall street right now, a big story today is what is happening with stocks. take a look at the dow, down 236 points. some are talking about this being a market correction, which would be a drop of about 10% from the high of the market, the high that the market recently touched. a few reasons for this. and take a look at that percent taj point, down 2%, that is a significant drop an hour and a half into trading here.

jobless claims came out today, 400,000 americans filing for first time unemployment, yes that is lower than we saw during the financial crisis, but that number is still very high. in fact it's the 17th week in a row where we're seeing claims above the 400,000 develop. it's not just domestic issues here and questions about the u.s. economy. you have a lot of questions about economies overseas, economies like italy and spain. these questions about whether or not she's countries will stay solvent are very much in the mind of investors right now, and our own debt issues also on the phaoupbd o mind of investors, whether or not this country is recovering. hi, everybody, i'm jenna lee? i'm jon scott. a fox news extreme weather alert for you now. tropical storm emily is spinning south of the dominican republic and haiti. there is serious concern for more than 600,000 haitains still

living without real shelter since last year's earthquake. the storm is packing 50-mile an hour winds. it could drop up to 20 inches of rain in some areas. jenna: preparations are underway in both countries. you have the haitain government opening up shelters in the danger zone. aid workers are handing out health kits to prevent health out breaks. >> reporter: the wind has begun to pick up here in the haitain capitol of port-au-prince. some 600,000 haitains still live in tents from the earthquake 16 months ago. the real question is how will the tents hold up. rains here killed eight people. he we could have a tropical storm, 50-mile an hour winds,

and torrential rains. there will be a serious sanitation problem, the spread of co alcohol cholera. this is about the extefpbt it we've seen so far, the yellow strip of tape all along the creek. we could see mudslides and flash flooding and real minimum preparation. people are dying their tk*epbts down ttents down to rocks. they say if you have relatives go live with relatives. but for about half a million people they will be here on their own. jenna: a tense situation, one we'll continue to watch. thank you very much. jon: brand-new poll numbers out on the debt deal, the fallout from it, who it could help or hurt in the next election, and what voters are saying about president now.

larry santa barbar sabato will be along. >> reporter: a-rod known to yankee fans and baseball fans around the world, he's making headlines for other than hitting a baseball rile, really far. he's being investigated by major league baseball for playing in illegal poker games. these are high stakes names with big-name hollywood stars. the league is investigating and a-rod says he's happy to cooperate with their investigation. we want to know what you think about a-rod in the news yet begin. go to our chat. we are going to chat over the next couple of minutes and we'll read some of the comments and give you more details on this story when "happening now" comes back after a quick break. don't go away.

jon: so what do you think is new york yankee's slugger alex rodriguez a gambling man? major league baseball wants to know. officials asked for a meeting with a-rod to discuss reports of his involvement in an underground high stakes poker game. a rodriguez spokesman says he is looking forward to cooperating with the league's investigation. this all comes from a story in star magazine, which includes claims of players openly using cocaine and thugs even threatening a player who refused to pay a half million dollars in losses. a-rod is not the only celebrity mentioned here. star names actor toby maguire.

leonardo de caprio, glen affleck as players. let's bring in ken rozen that you will, a field reporter for mlb on fox. this. again, does come from star magazine, which in the past has had some doozies. are you inclined to put credence to this report? >> we have to hear a-rod's version of it. so far he's had a spokesman say he wasn't involved. the new york daily news says that a-rod wasn't there, so if he wasn't there, there is much to do about nothing. but major league baseball is concerned about the cocaine, the violence, that's why they want to meet with him. jon: he's not even playing, he's out with an injury. >> that's correct. jon: is that a way to stir up dirt? >> i can't comment on what the magazine is doing or what they have or don't have. you have to withhold judgment if

he was there or not. in he wasn't there, there is no story. if he was there, even then it's questionable whether baseball can suspend him. jon: he's kind of a na magnet for trouble. >> there are all kinds of things that he's been involved with, but at the same time in this particular case he's been warned before not to play in these high stakes poker games. jon: a little tough forest specially nonyankee fans to feel sorry for a guy who has haoerpbd for more than a quarter of a billion dollars hitting a baseball. >> a lot of people don't feel sorry for alex rodriguez. he has had a charmed existence and worked hard for it. when it comes to his image he has made mistake. if this indeed is what has been reported this would be a misstep by him. jon: even ken thank you very

much. i know our chatters are wanting to weigh in on this as well. rick is keeping an eye on it for us. rick: k cap says with all that is going on in the world someone is worried about a-rod playing poker. richard barrett says if you're in the limelight, thread carefully, the media is watching, and so are we. jon: rick folbaum, thank you and thanks to our chatters for getting back to us. jenna: new information on the jobs front. we talked a little bit about the weekly jobless claims. the number is still very high. you wouldn't know it if you looked at the markets right now whether the numbers are good or bad, investors are taking a shot at the markets today. tomorrow we get a new unemployment rate. next we'll talk to a entrepreneur who is trying to create 100,000 jobs. we'll ask him how he's going to do it. a city experiencing a toxic

contribution of high unemployment. violent crime and urban blight. many people who live there see opportunity, including famous singer kid rock. how they are in over drive to bring detroit back from the brink. >> the city and state has been very good to me. i thought it was just a way to do something to help create jobs, it will be a way to give back and have fun in the process. >> people want to live somewhere where they feel safe, and the reality is it won't be safe until there are jobs. the experts at imperial can convert your long-term payout into a lump sum of cash today.

it's true. you never forgetyour fi.

jon: "happening now" president obama saying the focus is back on job creation now that the debt deal is done. this as the labor department said jobless claims fell to 400,000. it is a drop but still unemployment claims have been at or above that number for 17

weeks now. so where are the jobs? adam shapiro with the fox business network live in flushing queens. adam. >> reporter: that is the question that people who are unemployed at centers just like the one behind me are asking nationwide. that figure you site, 400,000 initial claims for unemployment benefits, that number is troubling because economists will tell you at 400,000 or more the economy is, one, not creating enough jobs to put the people inside that center behind me back to work, and two, not creating enough jobs, but also not sustaining the jobs that the rest of the country has. you need that number, 400,000 to be well below 400,000. now on top of that tomorrow the labor department will issue the monthly jobs report. we are going to get the july unemployment figures. everyone expects that the unemployment rate will remain at 9.2%. but we're going to be looking to see how many jobs this economy created. the expectation is roughly

85,000. again in order for this economy to be creating jobs to put people back to work the number needs to be around 200,000. and remember last time we had this report the number of jobs created was just 18,000, well below what people had originally expected. that's where we stand on this situation right now. this economy just not creating the jobs that it needs to create, and people inside are upset about it. jon. jon: we'll see what washing son can do. adam shapiro, thanks. jenna: what washington can do is one of the questions to maybe wall street is entertaining. the dow is down 200 -p 5 points. that is a deep dive. economic news part of this. but there is certainly a lot of dynamics going on in this market. as jon was mentioning, where are the jobs is the big question. and there is a new program modeled after the successful teach for america program that will try to create jobs in the united states. it's called venture for america. it's goal is to produce 100,000

jobs by 2025 in three very needy cities. we are luck deto have andrew yang, the founder and inventor of this. you're creating these jobs. how are you doing this. >> thank you for having us, jenna. we are going to take several thousand of the enterprising recent college graduates and send them to work at smart ups and early stage companies. one so they will expand and hire additional employees, and two that the inspiring entrepreneurs will be able to train with the company builders and start their own enterprises. jenna: you're going to put them out to tough cities with companies that need the help. what companies are volunteering for this program? what sectors are you seeing that are really interested in this. >> we spent the last several months in detroit, new orleans and providence.

i'm happy to say there are growing, tech-based companies. jenna: tech is still very key. >> yes the sing biggest criteria we have are companies that have the potential to generate additional u.s. jobs. we are targeting companies that are innovative and are able to increase u.s. competitiveness. jenna: there's always more spo spots. how do you pick and shoes who you take in this program and who you match up with who? >> that is one big advantage we have. teach for america as you said it's incredibly proper. they had 46,000 applicants for 4,500 spots last year. if we get thousands of applicants which we believe we will, we already have 3 p hundred applicants and we've been open for business just one week. jenna: it's just happened. >> it's just happened. no one has missed anything. if we have thousands of applicants we can taken the applicants that do not get the fellowship and help them find

jobs in small companies around the country. jenna: that's really key, your website venture for america.org, a week old. 300 applicants, maybe more by another week, we'll check in with you. >> that would be great. jenna: who has the idea for job creation? these interviews are sometimes tough to find. it's nice to have you. >> we feel very blessed to be here. jenna: congratulations. we'll continue to watch and see what happens here. 100,000 jobs by 2025. jon: i know our viewers would like to see that happen. a problem still out there and unresolved. millions of pounds of ground turkey recalled. investigators are trying to find the source of the deadly strain of salmonella that is behind the recall. what you can do to make sure it's not in your family's freezer. plus, a couple of boys attacked by a bear in new jersey while they were on a camp out. the bear was shot, but survived. now it's on the loose.

what happens next?

jon: i'm jon scott in our acquisitions room here at fox news world headquarters here in new york, and here's what's happening. take a look at the dow, down 2.4%, 282 points. a massive loss so far today after the dow barely squeaked out a couple of points up yesterday. it is not looking good. then you come over here to remote 294, that's tropical storm emily circling underneath

the island of hispaniola. the people of haiti in real trouble as that tropical storm bears down on that island. and just above it, 279, that's the campus of virginia tech where there is fear, a report of another gunman on the loose. three youngsters said they saw such a gunman carrying what looked to be a gun today. so far police have investigated, they say they have not found anything. we're continuing to keep an eye on it. jenna? jenna: new information, now, on the massive recall linked to killer salmonella outbreak. cargill, one of the biggest names in the meat-packing industry, now pulling some 36 million pounds of fresh and frozen ground turkey off the market as the agricultural department hunts for the source of this deadly bacteria strain. 76 people sickened so far, at least one death linked to this outbreak. you can see how widespread this is. the recall of the ground turkey

all made at plant in arkansas, but salmonella cases now spread. as we mentioned, really around the united states, and here's why. >> when we see a lot of animals whether they're birds or cows being ground into meat and parceled out, we're more likely to see one illness or one pathogen spread out amongst lots of packages for consumers. jenna: all the recalled turkey was produced between february 20th and august 2nd of this year. common symptoms include stomach cramps and fever. there are some ways to prevent getting sick even if you have contaminated meat or you're worried about it, and they include, of course, washing your hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds before and after touching raw meat, keeping the raw meat away from anything that won't be cooked and refrigerating raw meat within two hours of bing it, one hour if it's more than 90 degrees out. of course, you can also take out your oven thermometer as well, make sure you get it plenty hot

when you're cooking, but those are just a few ways to prevent salmonella. jon: two boys recovering from injuries suffered in a bear attack in new jersey. it tried to drag one boy out of his tent, slashed the shoulder of another. animal oficers arrived, they shot the bear in the neck but, apparently, it survived and is still on the loose. it is the first black bear attack reported in new jersey this year. larry harrity is the assistant director of fish and wildlife from new jersey, he joins us live now on the phone. larry, you're sure this thing was shot? >> yes. we had a good blood trail, we lost it in a swamp, and we believe it's a nonfatal injury at this time. jon: so the bear is likely to survive. i imagine that can't make you too happy. i mean, an angry bear that's already attacked people is just one more headache. >> well, a bear's, black bears when they're injured won't become more aggressive.

it's likely this bear has ran off and hid somewhere. we're studying various types -- we're setting various types of traps in the area hoping to catch it. jon: you think this was a young bear, that's my understanding? >> yes. the wildlife technician who took the shot said it appears to be about a one and a half-year-old bear. we have drought conditions in new jersey, and ere's not a lot of natural food for it to eat. jon: i mean, i know that bears generally aren'tall that aggressive unless you, you know, get in between them and be their cubs. for it to drag a kid out of his tent, was there food in the tent or something like that? that's kind of unusual behavior, isn't it? >> it is. it happens rarely. there was no food in the tent, um, but these kids were camping, and they probably have, you know, the smell of food on them, bags may have had the smell of food on them. this bear was reported to be coming into campgrounds and grabbing garbage bags, and he probably saw a bag and decided

to try and pull it. jon: so it's just kind of an op or tunistic feeder, this is not a bear that's got a lust for blood. >> that's correct. we don't think this was a predatory attack on a human, it was more he smelled something that was edible in the form of a bag. and the latest news is the hospital reports have identified the wounds on these boys were not caused by a bear. they had a few scratches on them, a few blisters, but the bear never gave them any injuries. jon: oh, well, that's good news, and they'll have quite a story to tell as they get older. we wish you well as you try to find this bear, larry. thank you. jenna: bear attacks are the type of story you tell at camp. jon: i think that's theay it's supposed to go. [laughter] jenna: well, we're glad they're okay, as you mentioned, jon. lawmakers had their say on the debt deal, we know that. so what effects will it have when voters go to the polls in 2012? larry sabato is here with his

jon: some stories developing from our control room right now. new reports today that syrian security forces have killed six more civilians. take a look at this amateur video. it reportedly shows protesters in the city of hama where a deadly military siege has been underway since sunday. 100 civilians believed killed there so far in thisser is yang crack -- syrian crackdown. and a terrible scene unfolding in pakistan after a five-story building collapsed in the city of karachi. in norway prosecutors say the man who admitted bombing and shooting in that rampage that left 77 people dead is now refusing to cooperate in the investigation. anders breivik is reportedly holding back information. police say they are still not

sure whether he acted alone. jenna: coming back stateside now, we have some new polling from quinnipiac out of florida that suggests the president is taking a hit over the debt ceiling drama. in polling right after the debt deal was announced, his approval was at 44% with 51% disapproving of his job performance in the sunshine state. back in this may his approval was at 51% with only 43% disapproval, so there's the move there. florida will be key to the president's re-election chances. also out with new information today, professor larry sabato, his crystal ball is out. we have a lot to talk to you today, larry. first, to this florida poll because one of the other questions asked of florida voters was who they preferred, mitt romney or president obama. and we're going to show our viewers the results. it was a dead heat at this time.

what do you make of that? >> this well, jenna, that's a very significant poll. as you know, florida was one of three southern states that president obama carried in 2008. the president has lost seven points in florida just since may. florida is one of the great swing states, one of the great mega states. and this is a significant poll not just because of the points the president has lost, but also because of what you just put up on the screen. romney has tied obama there. what does that mean? it means that the election were held today, i think it's very likely that romney would defeat obama. you don't look at the opponent's percentage, you look at the incumbent's percentage. if it's well below 50, then the incumbent is likely to lose if the election were held today and, of course, it's 15 months from now. jenna: the debt deal still very fresh on voters' minds, but a

lot can happen in 15 months. do you think this debt debate that seems to be playing out in the polls a little bit will have any effect 15 months from now? >> well, it's going to have some effect. it certainly affected the images of president obama and members of congress. if i had to pick one place of the most impact it's going to be in the party primaries and especially republican primaries. why? republicans were strongly opposed to thel, deal, average republicans, it turns out, were much more opposed to the deal than average democrats. so while some democrats may get a challenge from the left in their primary, i think it's more likely that some of the republican incumbents who voted yes on the deal will get some tea party opposition, some conservative opposition to their renominations. and, look, with redistricting making more and more districts safe across the united states, that's where the real election is in many places. jenna: so as far as the

politicians that voted no, i saw that was part of your crystal ball predictions here that really the yes or no votes when it comes down to the debt ceiling really are exposing political strategy. so for the politicians that vote no what do you make of what they're trying to do and how they're trying to position themselves ahead of this election? >> those, those incumbents who voted no, and it's hard to generalize fully, it doesn't cover every case. but many of the politicians who voted no are trying to protect themselves within their own party base. they're saying if they're republicans to the tea party, look, i'm with you. don't oppose me in the primary, it's pointless. if they are democrats, they're saying to the liberals, look, i'm with you. i also think this was a bad deal. so it's about the primary rather than the general election, really, for both parties among the incumbents who said no. jenna: and we should point out the primaries, of course, are early next year. so we talk about november 2012, but really we'll see some of

these showdowns earlier than that. larry, thanks for sharing your crystal ball with us today. >> thanks, jenna. jon: we are watching one of the other big stories, and it really touches everybody if you've got a 401(k) or just about any investment portfolio. take a look at the dow, down almost 3% now, 343 points. it has been in a downward cascade almost since the market opened this morning. all kinds of fears not only about debt in country like greece and italy but also our own debt situation. that's part of what's driving the dow and the unemployment numbers indicating that there aren't going to be a whole lot of americans buying whatever our factories and so forth produce these days because they just don't have the jobs to provide the incomes to provide the money. so it's one of the big developments we'll continue to keep an eye on here at "happening now." new developments, too, to tell you about in a chilling crime spree, a manhunt for a man accused of slashing women as

they shop. police have found some brand new video of the suspect, they've just released it. the hope that they can catch him before he slashes someone again. plus, the images many people have of detroit, dilapidated buildings, abandoned neighborhoods, broken glass. but there's a side of the motor city you might not have heard about. it inspires maybe a little bit of hope for detroit's revival. >> do you honestly feel like the gardens have done what's needed to bring the neighborhood back? >> definitely. look how many kids we have here from the neighborhood. >> it's about keeping people healthy. >> all of the good -- [inaudible] >> around here there's gas stations, and that's it. gas stations.

jenna: we have some new be information and new video on a story we wrought you first -- brought you first yesterday. rick, we've been talking about this serial slasher, and yesterday when we talked about it, bizarre, right? this guy was going after women's clothing, right? not necessarily the body. but now we're hearing this is maybe more serious than first reported. >> reporter: much more serious, jenna, that's right. when we talked about this yesterday, we talked about the suspect who was going around and cutting women's clothing. we're now getting word that police are looking for a man in virginia assaulting women in clothing stores, actually cutting the women, not just their clothes. here are some still pictures taken from some of the stores where this guy has struck. he comes up from behind his victims, all of them young women in their teens and 20s. he uses some kind of a knife or a box cutter in his attacks according to the police, and he's done this at least six times since february. the most recent attack was a couple of weeks ago, an 18-year-old woman says that she

heard a commotion behind her while shopping at a mall in fairfax county, and schoen she felt -- then she felt a sudden piercing in her buttocks. her wound was about an inch and a half long. the suspect does not talk to his victims, but this is what we've been showing you here, some surveillance video from one of the stores that police believe is the guy. he's described as hispanic, in his late 20s around 5-6 and heavyset. anyone with any information is asked to contact the fairfax county police department at 703-691-2131 or else that tips line down there at the bottom of your screen. this is a serious situation. the police are on it, jenna, but they need the public's help. jenna: we'll continue to watch it, rick. thank you. >> a number of growing detroiters reclaiming the land. the amazing thing, though, is this is not the michigan

countryside. it's not even suburbia. this is downtown detroit. ♪ >> once a burgeoning middle class neighborhood, it's now known as the jungle. >> okay. today we're going to water the boxes. we immediate to pick up the trash from -- we need to pick up the trash from around the garden. okay, let's go. jon: that's a clip from "detroit in overdrive," a new documentary that follows the people injecting fresh energy, drive and even entrepreneurial spirit into an american city that remembers better days. and it hopes to reclaim them as well. the documentary premieres tonight on planet green. joining us now, michael, the executive producer and director of this documentary, "detroit in overdrive." so you found good things happening in detroit. >> i certainly did. i found a lot of good things happening in detroit. jon: now, gm, the car company, commissioned this. did they say to you, go out and find good things happening in detroit? >> yeah. well, this is a co-production between general motors, planet

green and discovery studios. and, initially, general motors did come to planet green with this idea, and i, i was skeptical as well. it's a big-branded puff piece. but actually i was quite impressed with general motors, and they were very adamant from the beginning that it would not be -- jon: so you're not schilling for them. >> i'm not. they wanted to focus on the people of detroit -- jon: and what is happening? >> well, there's certainly a lot of infrastructure in the detroit that exists already, and people are getting really creative about what to do there. there's a guy, joe ferris, who who's a fashion designer who's trying to bring the garment industry to detroit and actually being quite successful about it. i'm wearing his jeans that were manufactured in detroit. jon: wow. >> um, there's a lot of amazing stories. kid rock has started a beer company there, um, there's a woman who is making coats for the homeless that turn into sleeping bags, and she's employed homeless people to

actually manufacture them. and then there's a lot of urban garden stories like we saw in the beginning of people that are taking over plots of land from when houses had come down that had been abandoned, and they're creating these urban gardens and feeding their neighborhoods and selling the food at market. jon: it's great to see. there's a vacuum there, and people are rushing in to fill it. >> yeah. people are getting really, really creative about getting things done there. jon: interesting to see. we'll watch that documentary, thank you. jenna: good news when it comes to a tough economy is something we want to hear, especially today. dow down 320-plus points. why is this happening? we have answers straight ahead.

jenna: a fox news alert, want to trach you straight down the -- take you straight down to wall street. down more than 300 points. the dow was able to eke out a small gain yesterday after a rough two weeks of just very disappointing economic data. a lot of questions about what's happening with the economy right now, what's going to happen with the job market.

we have a new read on that tomorrow that investors certainly are anticipating, but the news today as far as americans filing for first-time unemployment wasn't good. 400,000 is still the number, you have 17 straight week of 400,000-plus americans filing for unemployment every week, and this is just one factor in the market today. again, a big drop. charles payne is going to be with us shortly, we'll talk to him more about what is causing this drop, wh is happening with the markets. charles will have some answers straight ahead. jon: and right now breaking developments in the suspicious death of selena cat. we told you about that 11-year-old new hampshire girl, her body found float anything a river not far from her home earlier this week. no police are impounding her stepfather's pickup truck. rick has more details. >> reporter: yeah, jon. investigators have taken that pickup truck that they believe belongs to celina's stepfather, wendell noise.

they're looking for any clues that might explain how celina died. her body was found in the connecticut river near her home in new hampshire. she was last seen by her mom and is step dad while she was working on her computer in her bedroom. the dad has become a focus after behaving bizarrely and being take on the a hospital after getting word that celina's body had been found, and he has a criminal past. at one point he was admitted to a hospital against his will for treatment of schizophrenia. ab ex-girlfriend -- an ex-girlfrnd says he was violent with her and her family. police involved with the cass investigation have not named the stepdad or anyone, for that matter, as a suspect in this case as of yet. they have said that the death is being ruled spicious, and in the meantime, jon, the family is planning a memorial service for celina in their small town near the canadian border. jon: just so sad. rick, thanks. stay on it for us.

jenna: well, another big story for us, a fight over funding for the faa leaving the federal agency in limbo. hi, everybody. we're glad you're with us, i'm jen in that -- jenna lee. jon: and i'm jon scott. planes are still in the air, of course, but thousands of workers are grounded. jenna: certainly not a good time for that. they've been laid off until congress comes back from vacation to sort out what's been described as a mess. doug mcelway live in washington, does it sound like a mess, smell like a mess? is that the right word for this? [laughter] >> reporter: it walks like a mess. jenna: there you go. >> reporter: the standoff continues, part of an impasse that has left 4,000 faa wrkers furloughed, thousands of construction workers laid off and dozens of construction projects on hold. the primary sticking point, at least to democrats, is the republican house plan that cut back funding for the essential air service, a subsidy for small rural airports that cost

taxpayers as much as $3700 per ticket. senate democrats object to its removal and are holding up passage over that equating the republicans' scrapping of eas to holding somebody hostage. >> it's thessue of hostage taking. it's as if someone puts a gun to your head and says, give me your money. and then you say, why won't you give them their money? you leave out the whole context of there's a gun being held to your head. and that is not fair and that is not right. and harry is right. we keep getting that situation. >> reporter: but republican sources have provided fox news voting records that prove these very same democratic critics voted for a similar senate bill last february, senate bill s223, quote, revises eligibility requirements to limit such service to airports that are located not less than 90 miles from the nearest medium or large

hub airport. that's the language of the bill. and voting for that bill were senators boxer, reid, schumer and rockefeller. transportation secretary ray lahood, meanwhile, is urging lawmakers to get over their differences. >> this is the construction season. this is the time, this is the bread and butter time for construction workers. if congress has a dispute about a program, work it out. don't hold people hostage. >> reporter: now, even though congress will be in recess for august, it remains in pro forma session. through a unanimous consent resolution, it could pass this extension of the faa bill very, very easily, but, jenna, both sides just appear to be as entrenched as much as ever. jenna: so no chances of them stopping vacation, coming back to d.c -- >> reporter: you know, they don't all have to come back. it could be done through unanimous consent. does anybody object to this bill? no? it's passed just like that. whether or not they break this entrenchment remains to be seen. jenna: interesting story, doug. thank you.

>> reporter: uh-huh. jon: a fox news alert now on a major fbi bust. foxnews.com is learning the feds have arrested ten people in a mortgage fraud scheme. heather childers is live across the newsroom and has more details for us. >> reporter: hi, jon. well, the fbi is charging 13 people with allegedly participating in a $60 million mortgage fraud ring. now, ten of the alleged members of the mortgage scheme include real estate attorneys, title closers and appraisers. they were arrested on conspiracy to commit bank fraud and wire fraud charges. three or more suspects are expected to be in custody by the end of the day, and all are expected to appear before a federal judge in court in new york later today. the scheme involved more than 100 properties in new york and in florida. similar frauds have been investigated in new york, chicago and washington just this month alone. in if new york a manager of a brokerage firm was sentenced to

60 months in prison for his role in a subprime mortgage fraud scheme that involved dozens of residential mortgages totaling more than $10 million n. washington a loan officer pled guilty to using his position to help carry out a multimillion dollar mortgage fraud scheme involving more than 15 homes in northern virginia. and in chicago two residential real estate appraisers are among 14 charged in three separate mortgage fraud schemes. now, the fbi investigates mortgage fraud in two areas specifically, that's fraud for profit and fraud for housing. a rise in mortgage fraud investigations is attributed to the continuing deterioration of the real estate market and dramatic rise in mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures. jon? jon: heather childers reporting live. heather, thank you. jenna: heather just talking a little bit about housing, let's talk more about stocks here because have been wamping these markets -- watching these markets down 300 points, off some of the lows, believe it or

not, of the sessioso far. charles payne, a fox news contributor, is joining us down. we've seen some down days, 100, 200 points at times, we haven't seen this in a little while. what do you make of what's going on here? you're absolutely right, jenna. add the fact that we have been down something like 10 of the last 11 sessions or something in that area. this is almost what we would call classic capitulation. a lot of people are just throwing in the towel, you know, selling begets selling, but beneath it all the real story here is why is this happening, and i think there's a couple of things at play right now. first of all, europe is imploding as well. europe is in a lot of trouble. you know, e ecb there met, there's some activities that they're doing not to save southern countries, but -- sovereign countries, but to try to bolster their banks again. here at home we talked about this debt ceiling debate, it was preached and talked about as if it was some sort of cureall when, in fact, i think the debt ceiling going up hasn't helped the issue.

a lot of people are wondering how we're going to get our own economic house in order, and this selloff is a vote of no confidence as much as anything else. jenna: so investors voicing some anxiety as we're seeing through the action, charles, as you were mentioning. we hear this word, "correction," it's something that's thrown around a lot. i'm sure in the business network, we talk about a correction. we're in correction territory already here, nearly dow. what exactly does that mean and why is it significant? >> it's when a rally gives up a certain amount of ground. definitions can be anywhere from 5% to 10 president, so you're -- 10%, so you're absolutely right, we're certainly in correction territory. but i think all that stuff is a little bit more irrelevant as to how do we turnen it around -- turn it around. tomorrow we get the jobs report. a tremendous amount of anxiety. in june we created all of 18,000 jobs for a country of 300 million people. if we clear that hurdle, you might get a relief rally, but beneath the surface we see

businesses are holding back, banks are holding back and consumers are holding back. everyone's wondering what's around the corner. and, again, there's a lot of factors but the most important in in many mind is the lack of confidence in the our government and economy. jenna: we try different data points, but it's tough to quantify confidence and bring it back when it's lost. charles, thank you very much. charles payne on this big story. jon: yeah. because who's going to open a business if there aren't the customers out there ready to buy? i mean, that's one of the -- jenna: one of the huge questions. then you have regulation on top of it, the new health care law that some are pointing to. as charles mentioned, there's so many different dynamics, and one investor described it as a bit of a puzzle right now that has too many pieces to pull together, and that's why as charles mentioned as well you might see some people deciding, you know what? it's not worth it right now to play market. jon: all right, jenna, thanks. hitting our big stories at the top of the hour, we have a lot more coming your way now. new legal developments for the

woman convicted in the jaywalking death of her little boy. what could clear her record? plus, police say what they thought could be a bomb strapped to a young girl's neck was not a bomb at all. the hunt for a suspect in this bizarre hoax. and developing news on the economy, stocks selling off. wall street is livening up our live chat. rick is over at the web wall for us right now. >> rerter: the chat room is buzzing about the economy, folks weighing in. jenna talking about the puzzle that exists. so many questions about the economy and the future. some of our viewers and some folks who are chatting right now, they think they might have the answers to those, to the puzzle. we'll read some of the comments that you guys are giving us when we come right back with more "happening now." don't go away. my doctor told me calcium is besabsorbed in small continuous amounts. only one calcium supplement does that in one daily dose. new citracal slow release... continuously releases calcium plus d

4-year-old has accepted a judge's offer to have the case retried. raquel nelson, we told you about her case. she was illegally crossing the street with her son when he was hit and killed by a hit and run driver. officials now say what they thought was a collar bomb attached to an 18-year-old australian girl's neck was, in fact, a fake. according to police, a masked man broke into the teenager's home, chained the device to her neck in an extortion attempt. police are still investigating and looking for the suspect. the sexual assault trial of warren jeffs is heading to closing arguments. jeffs is accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old and 15-year-old he had taken as spiritual wives. jenna: let's get back to the markets now, what's happening in the business world. fewer americans are applying for unemployment benefits in the last week, but the drop a small one from the previous week. applications at 400,000, that's a seasonally-adjusted number. it's still way too many for a healthy economy.

and it is something, of course, that's very importantto investos for so many reasons. today we do await a major jobs report tomorrow, ask with the -- and with the recent losses in the market including the losses today, some are asking if stocks are pricing in a brand new recession. here now mark madison, founder and ceo of madison money. so, mark, what do you think? new recession? >> i don't think we ever came out of the old recession. i mean, let's face it, this president likes to compare himself to reagan, but under reagan we went from a 10% unemployment during this time period to about a 6% unemployment, and obama's done the exact opposite. he's gone from 6% when he took office to 9%, and for me this isn't a healthy economy until we get people back to work. so i'm not surprised by a lot of things that are going on today, but the message for investors, it takes all knowable, predictable information pricing it into today. my message for investors is

don't panic. this is a blip. you need to think 10, 20 years down the road. jenna: so let's talk about your business, mark, because it's a good example. you have 38 employees, you advise hundreds of investors, and you manage about $3 billion which is a lot of money, a lot more than most of us have in our 401(k). so if you could speak directly to the american people that are also nervous watching these markets, what would your message be to them? >> you know, my message to them is -- and we do, we have 38 employees, 400 coaches across the country. and they work with everyday, main street investors. and my advice is to ignore wall street because wall street takes advantage of main street investors by causing the panic when the market goes down, causing them to get greedy when the market goes up, causing them to speculate with things like gold and commodities. an investor needs to allocate their portfolio long term with a decent, respectable mix and then rebalance on the lows. ignore the hype, ignore the

horror of what's going on now because in the long run this gets worked out. jenna: and we'll caution our viewers, they can take that advice or not. it's coming from an investor, and it's important to take in a lot of opinions especially when it comes to our money and what we're trying to save for our families, mark. i know you can appreciate that. where do we go from here though? where do you see, one, the market going, and where do you see the economy really headed as we go towards the back half of this year? >> well, this is the enigma of what we face today. we're headed down this road of socialism right now, the road that europe has been down 50 years before us. and that would make most investors think that equities would be dead over the next ten or twenty years. but over the last 50 years european equities have actually made 1% more than the u.s. because socialism -- heavy spending, debt, recession -- these type of unemployment things in the market cause risk to cost of capital to businesses, and that means potentially long-term higher

rates of return. don't give up faith on this country. don't give up faith in if capitalism. in the long run, the free markets are going to win. jenna: it's interesting to hear. politics, obviously, a major point that you consider as an investor, and we're going to have to get someone to debate you on that socialist stuff because i can't even go with you on that right now. hold on a second, though, rick has our live chat and, rick, you've been taking in some comments. you say that some of our viewers feel like they know what to do about this economy. >> reporter: we've got some experts in the chat room. let me tell you what they're saying, then you can ask your guest if you want to. fix the economy? same deregulation and cut back on foreign aid. randy snow had this to suggest, force banks to rewrite mortgages, he says, and build a wall between investment banks and traditional banks which should be highly regulated. so a little bit of an opposing viewpoint there. and finally this one from chris, please, let congress stay on vacation -- [laughter] that way they can't screw anything up this week. jenna: interesting advice.

mark, just real quick, we talked about the housing market and the jobs market, obviously, regulation is something our viewers are looking at. if there's one thing that you see is key to this recovery, if we could fix one thing and try to get everything started again as far as getting a spark to what's happening in the business community, what would it be? >> you have -- politicians have to stop pretending like they're entrepreneurs. if politicians could create jobs, they'd already be entrepreneurs. they need to get off the back of the free market. let business people like me and all those people across the country create the jobs. lower taxes, lower spending, smaller government and capitalists will bring us out of this, not the government. jenna: are you thinking about running for a republican office? what do you think, mark? just wondering. [laughter] >> after i just watched what the republicans did with this debt thing, i'm going to stay a money manager. jenna: there you go. i had to ask. of look forward to having you back again, and that debate is going to be on, by the way. mark, thank you. jon: here is an amazing story that i think is going to touch

your heart. the family of a police officer shot in the head makes an unusual request saying it's time to forgive. the officer's wife is now asking the community to rally together and help another family, and it is not one you would expect be. wait until you hear this. hey, the new guy is loaded with protein!

jenna: well, "happening now," this story. a texas police officer wounded in the line of duty last month is facing, certainly, a long road to recovery. rick, there's so many different sides to this story. you're going to give us some background, and jon's going to pick up on what his family is doing next that i think our viewers will really want to hear. let's start with the background, first. >> reporter: that's right, jenna. july 12th, not a routine day for officer daryl campbell of the snyder, texas, police

department. he and his partner, lee ortiz, were responding to a report of shots fired when all of a sudden officer campbell was shot in the head. that's his partner there, officer ortiz, and we do have some video from the scene. officer ortiz was able to shoot and kill the suspect at the scene, but officer campbell was badly wounded. he was airlifted to a hospital in lubbock, texas, about an hour or so away. thankfully, he is responding well to treatment. his condition has been upgraded, as you see a picture of him with his little girl. meantime, the entire community in west texas is coming together to help the family with their medical bills as officer campbell continues his recovery. back to you. jenna: as we mentioned, more on this story, jon. it's truly an amazing story for so many reasons. jon: it is really amazing, that's really the only word for it. generosity and be forgiveness involved as well. the officer's wife, amber duncan campbell, is joining us on the phone. amber, everybody in west texas was asking you how they could

help you, and you had a response on your facebook page that has just amazed so many people. tell us what you put on. >> well, i decided an effort to get past and forgive, that's the best thing we could do was to take care of the man who shot my husband's children. they deserve to know love and feel peace about the situation too. jon: well, tell us -- all right, so you put on your facebook page you asked that people donate to support those children because their father was, as we said, shot and killed after he attacked your own husband. >> exactly. i asked that people would rally together and get the kids school clothes and school supplies, things of that nature. jon: what do you know about those children? how many, how old? >> i don't really know too much. it's been brought to my attention that there's possibly four or five children. um, i don't know the ages of them. jon: that is an astounding, um,

request, i guess. so many people would just want to hate this guy, and here you are really turning the other cheek. >> well, the kids didn't do anything wrong, and they deserve to know that it's a good world out there, and there's a lot of good people in it. jon: you have said that you don't want to be consumed with anger over what happened. um, you've just decided that helping these kids is the best way to for you to help heal. >> exactly. if we get consumed with anger, then we're not focused on getting better and getting past it. so -- jon:house daryl doing? -- how's daryl doing? >> >> he's doing absolutely great. we see a little bit of improvement each day. jon: all right. this is the -- we have on our screen the account for those who would like to make a donation to help your husband.

but there's also this ability, this request you've made that people help the children of the man who shot your husband. it's on our screen. we will also have it on our web page. it is just an amazing story. amber duncan campbell, we wish you and darrell well. thank you. jenna: well, as we mentioned, all that information's on our web site. if you'd like to learn more about that. another big story we're watching today and will continue to watch is what's happening with the economy. you see the market's down about 300 points. neil cavuto is up next, thankfully, to make sense of this all -- hopefully. no pressure, neil, i know you're listening. we're also going to take questions from you on our live chat. please, get them in during the break. also, today's must-see moment. rick is at the web wall with details. >> reporter: you only have a couple of minutes to do this. we're going to reveal the answer, your choice after this

commercial break. but let me take a look and see what they are. a kid goes to the beach, and he digs a hole. how many times have you done that at the beach? except this kid fell in the hole and needed to be rescued. that's choice number one. choice number two, a string of violent store robberies, police need your help, and we can show you more about that if you want. or else a bubble show. i know if my children were voting, this would be their selection. we'll have the results and the story that you pick on the other side of the break. don't go away. ♪ let me tell you about a very important phone call i made.

would most likely be revised down. so we're barely treading positive water. keep in mind the latest quarter we were up all of 1.3%. the prior quarter was revised paltry gain of .4 of a percent. technical definition after recession, not to get too wonky here, back-to-back quart of negative growth. we have more indications with personal income slowing, personal spending slowing. a lot of folks closing up their wallets and then ongoing fears europe is heading back into something very bad, you add it up. that's why we're seeing a lot of selling here. it wasn't more than a few weeks ago, that we thought we were kind of out of the european, you know, troubled woods when they cobbled together a rescue package for greece. now that's been met with great protests. then out of nowhere, italy, which looked like it was sort of limping along just fine, the credit rating

agencies were starting to get nervous when borl beryl indicated, the -- silvio berlusconi, indicated leader there, he was in a mood or not to do anything drastic. in factidn't find it necessary. found the selloff in his country more a result of global concerns. he might be partly right but the markets read that to believe he was going to resist taking any emergency measures to get that country back on track. so concerns suddenly about italy and spain and the fears that they could join the likes of greece really, really weighing on european stocks toy. virtually every major market abroad there was down about 3, to the case of almost 4% in italy. so that sort of cascaded here. on top of our own concerns that the economy is barely moving along. we got jobless claims out today, i normally don't focus on them, jenna, because they're so volatile, ahead of the big employment

report tomorrow they seem to remind a lot of folks they're still stubbornly high. with the stubborn layoff news we've gotten better than 70,000 layoffs jus last month, people are prepared for the worst. jenna: one of our viewers was asking about the unemployment rate. as you mentioned the big jobs report tomorrow, neil. any predictions? you talk to many market watchers when we'll see a significant reduction in unemployment in this country? >> you're quite right, jenna. that is the ultimate issue here. it is jobs, jobs, jobs and right now we are not generating nearly enough jobs. and the indication are tomorrow that we could get surprise to the downside. all right expectations are fairly weak enough for the july jobs report. most are estimating that it will problem still hang at unemployment rate 9.2% or maybe 9.3%. but the overall jobs gain could be as tepid as 80 to

85,000. there was move afoot of brokerage houses, monsy center banks and the like to half of that. there are simply no way of knowing. we know the job gains of late have been very, very tepid. at this stage after so-called recovery we should gains in the 1200, 300, even 400,000 a month range and we're again not seeing that. jenna: we have to wait until 8:30 tomorrow morning for that number. our viewers are observant, neil. since you came on the air the markets came off the lows. stay on the side of our screen for the next few hours. >> you and i are only a few feet away. i apologize to your producer. i'm stuck in this room doing stuff as well for fox business network. but it is nothing personal. nothing at all. jenna: well, all right. >> sort of. jenna: i will take that into consideration. >> jon scott, he is another issue. jenna: he was asking for your job yesterday. >> i know. i don't trust him. i don'trust him. jenna: you should not, neil.

they are where they belong in the water. white sharks most popularly known as great whites. they're trying to monitor them and movements. and what they're feeding is mainly the gray seals. that is why the sharks are increasing in number because the gray seals are increasing in number. we had a chance to go out with the marine fisheries here in massachusetts. they're harpooning the sharks to learn more. here is one of researchers talking about what is causing this phenomenon. >> it is our first real opportunity to study white sharks here in the atlantic ocean. the only reason that's possible because we have a growing population of gray seals right along this beach behind me. that population of gray seals has reached a level that is drawing these sharks close to shore. >> reporter: by a good bit of fortune the white sharks are actually swimming not so close to the swimming beaches here along the cape as they were last year. last year there were a

number of beach closing. we haven't seen that this year. when we went out to watch this tagging of the sharks there were two great white sharks that were tagged. we saw a number more, about six or so. so they're out there and they're being spotted on very regular basis. people are being urged to simply be smart. don't go near the major food source. don't swim with the seals. there hasn't been a shark attack here in 75 years and the authorities want to keep it that way. jon. jon: let's hope it stays that way. thank you, molly line. jenna: must-see moment of the day that you the viewer chose. rick, do we have our results. >> we do. i think high kids might have gong online during the break because the winner is the bubble show. take a look. this is called the gaville i don't know -- gazillion bubble show. amazing audience generalses in china. there is the artist. he has been performing with bubbles for 20 years. all of these games i play with my kids out in front of the house in the summer i could make a career out of it i guess.

not bad. that looks good. jenna: not bad at all. we should maybe put the dow up with the bubbles in the background because it makes everything better. if you have the bubbles in the background. >> everything is better with bubbles, generics accept the housing bubble. >> exactly, jon. jenna: housing bubble, got it. rick, thank you very much. thank you to our viewers who voted as well. jon: have researchers uncovered the secret to the a long life? staying out of the water in cape cod might be part of it. the surprising results of a longevity study. how you can stay young at heart. ♪ [ jon ] we don't just come up here for the view up in alaska.

live", the white house says there is no threat of a double-dip recession but the markets are way down and most economic data is not pretty. stu varney joins us live to break it all down. the president is planning a bus tour through potential swing states. is it a campaign event or not? either way you the taxpayer are footing the bill. we'll debate that. a young man buried alive. he thought it was over but lived to tell the story and he will join us live. we'll keep you updated as the search continues on the campus of virginia tech from reports of a gunman there. we'll see you at the top of the hour. jenna: a lot of good stories ahead. we heard this right. eat right, exercise, don't smoke or drink too much, keys to a long, long life, right? maybe not. a new study finds many people age 95 and older are poster children for bad behavior. a leader researching good genes are really responsible for longevity, not necessarily your diet. but of course a word of

caution before we go off the deep end here. a doctor of the university maryland school of medicine is joining us. >> that's fine. >> these folks tested according to these researchers, 95 and olders, smoke, drank and had poor diets, lack of exercise. if we do bad things like that, why do we live long at all? >> yeah, i know. makes you kind of reconsider your whole low-carb strategy. jenna: right. >> really we know there is some inheritance to people that live longer. there is a longevity project that looked at that. these researchers picked a homogenous group of individuals and they found they had a couple of genes in common that might account for things like raising good cholesterol, increasing your metabolism. so the word of caution is that just because you have a relative that lives long doesn't necessarily mean

that you do have those genes, that you will inherit them. but they did find that there were older people that were obese and didn't exercise and drank too much. so --. jenna: we don't know if they had a good life but sounds good when you listen to it. sounds like it was a party all along. you mentioned the genes that these folks had, the ones that live a long, long life. is there any way to bottle those genes if you don't have them? >> well, i mean the hope down the road is if you can really identify these genes but that's the thing. it is probably more than one gene. it is not, you know, it's not going to be just one gene that will do it. and as i said, just because you might inherit it doesn't mean that it has 100%, what is called penetrance so it is expressed. it is like hedging your bets. do you want to wait until 75 with a heart attack and

stroke even though your dad lived until 90 maybe you don't have that gene? or you know, what do you want, what do you want to do? so you might as well temper it. jenna: what kind of risk. >> right. who wants to be fat at 100, right? jenna: that's a good point, doc. real quick, i always like giving advice to our viewers when we have an expert on. we're talking about drinking, smoking or bad diet, what, out of all those three is the thing that you think will hold back someone from living a long life? what do you think is the worst offender? >> probably smoking is the worst because, you know, when they looked at bad diet and obesity even in these people they weren't obese as the control study. and but smoking is probably the worst. we know that harm that it causes. there are some people that might have this longevity gene that protects them a little bit from it but it is a definite cars sin know again. it haases cash causes heart

disease. smoke something probably the worst thing. if you eliminate one of those things, smoking is the best. jenna: i will edit part of this video and send it straight to one of our producers. thank you so much. >> absolutely. jenna: john and i will have a hamburger. >> in moderation. jenna: in moderation. doctor, thank you very much. jon: i like that kind of talk. all right, they are being called bedbugs from hell for good reason. no natural predators. swarming all over parts of the east coast, and you do not want to step on one. oh, that ahead.

jenna: right now at tree removal plan aimed at public safety is creating some controversy out in the colorado. the national forest service is allowing the logging in colorado of thousands of acres of dead trees. they have been killed by a bark-beetle infestation. if you have seen this you know how devastating it is in the forests. the plan to clear this land not without critics. alicia acuna is streaming live from 'frisco, colorado. with more. >> reporter: hi, jenna. if you've seen these trees you know when they're dead they turn red. look behind me the face of that mountain there is red hue all over. those are all dead trees. some groups simply don't want the dead trees removed. the u.s. forest service says, look below at the town, imagine all of that red on fire? the forest service says it is a safety issue. the mountain pine beetle, an

infestation so large in number it has left 40 million acres worth of dead forrest trees across the west over the last decade. >> it is a massive epidemic in. largest insect epidemic ever recorded in north america. >> reporter: some perspective. bunched together the dead trees which you can see turn red, would cover more than all the land in the state of georgia. experts say massive beetle populations are natural and cyclical. problem now is people live closer to for rested areas and the aftermath of this infestation can be a serious danger. >> we want to reduce the hazards of falling trees that might impact people. we also want to reduce impact of falling trees on roadways, power lines, whatever other infrastructure is out there. >> reporter: the u.s. forest service is moving fast to clear out the killed off giants untouched could also become fuel for fires. you can see it takes under a second for this machine to cut through these large diameter trees.

this is just one of hundreds of projects just like this all throughout the west. the only thing that will stop the march of the beetle is time. the u.s. forest service says the population will collapse only after most of the pine trees are dead. the bark beetle occurs naturally. however over the past ten years a combination of drought and warmer temperatures allowed the population to explode. jenna? jenna: interesting story. one we'll watch. alicia, thank you. jon: new information about an invader from asia that is infesting 33 states. a really nasty bug destroying crops and even causing quite a stink. if you haven't heard about them yet they could be headed to your neighborhood or coming your way very soon. here's what you need to know about stink bugs. tracy is a bug behavior specialist at the department of agriculture. first of all, tracy, these things are not native to america, right? >> that's correct. they are native to asia.

particularly japan, china, korea and taiwan. jon: how did they get here? >> it was an accidental introduction. probably came with a shipment of goods into someplace on the eastern seaboard. they were first detected in allentown, pennsylvania, back in the late 1990s. jon: now that they are here they are causing terrible problems for people. i guess they swarm by the thousands, huh, in people's homes and businesses? >> yeah. in the fall this bug has a tendency to move, well it is a natural tendency to move overwintering sites to spend the winter. this can include people's homes and businesses. we had folks have huge numbers in their homes. we have one individual, he is actually taken data and removed over 20,000 bugs from his home. jon: they call them stink bugs for a very good reason. what happens when you step on them? >> they do. they stink. they have defensive compound that they use to deter predators from eating them. when you hand they will them and disturb them they will

release odors. jon: smashing them is not a good idea. >> not if you want to learn why they are called stink bugs. jon: are there no natural predators? >> we have generalist predators in the united states will eat them. they're certainly not keeping up with the population. jon: so birds, bat, that kind of thing they might take care of a few but they -- >> yeah, birds, praying man tis, ants, that sort of thinking. but they're not as effective as we would like. so we have colleague, dr. kim holmer leading efforts to bring some of the asian natural enemies of this insengt to the united states. they're in quarantine and being screened. it's a small, nonstinging paracitic wasp. jon: it bureaus into their eggs. >> it does. >> kim, from the department of agriculture. come up with a solution. all kinds of people would be glad. >> we'll do it. jon: tracy thank you. >> you're welcome. jon: don't step on the stink bugs and we'll be right back. wityour colon
